Fraud Allegations: Swiss Public Prosecutor Clears CAF Official
The Confederation of African Football (CAF), on Thursday said that the Swiss Public Prosecutor’s Office will not initiate legal proceedings against CAF General Secretary, Veron Mosengo-Omba, after finding no basis to do so.
Mosengo-Omba had been under investigation for alleged suspicious payments involving Swiss bank accounts, as disclosed last September by the Federal Criminal Court of Switzerland.
In November 2024, Mosengo-Omba voluntarily travelled to collaborate with the Swiss Public Prosecutor’s Office in Fribourg, answering questions relating to the preliminary investigations. He denied any wrongdoing.
“CAF welcomes the decision of the Swiss Public Prosecutor’s Office and is pleased that there continues to be adherence and compliance within CAF and the CAF Secretariat, with the culture and commitment to ethics, transparency and governance that was introduced since the Presidency of Dr Patrice Motsepe,” CAF said in a statement.
